    IMHO... Cahoot, Marcus and Kent Reliance (new platform) seem to be the fastest. Avoid Ford Money and Skipton, nothing happens with them at weekends... not even Internal transfers.

    I use the Barclays Rainy Day saver quite a bit for a cash buffer. Instant withdrawals via faster payments and you can setup future dated payments. It used to be much better but its rate is now 3.96% AER on balances up to £5k. Interest paid monthly.

    Another who has been impressed with Kent Reliance.

    Instant transfers

    Security codes through email rather than phone (i just like another option and surprised more do not do this…even as a backup in case you cannot use your phone)

    Clean simple website

    Again like you tried to open a cash isa but unavailable at the moment on their new website (hopefefully that changes soon).
